I was out walking around and "popping" quests on StreetComplete. I was wondering what the consensus is on the question "Who is allowed to park here?" In this case, it's an ungated parking lot next to a commercial/industrial warehouse with many companies occupying the same space. A few of the parking spots had a sign indicating "reserved for XYZ customers", but most did not. This is not a city-owned parking lot. What's the right answer?

If you don't know for sure, answer "can't say". A tag shouldn't be present if its proper value is unknown.

After 11 months consideration and more experience with osm myself, I gotta agree - even defaulting 'safe' is mucking up the dataset in this case
